One Suleiman Gatta has filed for divorce at Area Court, Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, Kwara State, on account of his wife’s disrespectful attitude toward his parents and siblings.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Gatta told the court that the defendant, Balikis Adeyemi, did not like his parents and siblings, saying that she was always having issues with them.
He also said that the wife does not appreciate all the things he gives her, adding that she curses him anytime they have a misunderstanding.
He, thereby, prayed the court to dissolve their marriage.
The defendant, however, denied all the allegations against her by the petitioner, saying that she did not have any problem with her in-laws.
She told the court that the petitioner always got angry over issues, especially things like food and child upbringing.
The presiding judge, Shehu Ajimobi, told the wife to apologise to her husband and turn to a new leaf.
According to her, divorce is not a good thing and should be prevented.
He also advised the petitioner to exercise patience and hope that his wife would change.
But the petitioner insisted on divorce, saying that the defendant should not bother to apologise, as he won’t listen and would not accept her plea.
The judge therefore ordered the two parties to come with their parents during the next sitting and adjourned the case.
